How many stars in the sky?

How many stars are in the milky way(object on the sky)?

  • How many VISIBLE (to 6mag) stars are in the milky way(object on the sky, NOT galaxy)? and how many PERCENT of the sky(south+north) is coveredy by MILKY WAY? (objectr on the sky, not galaxy)

  • Answer:

    The Milky Way passes through (or barely touches) 32 of the 88 constellations, covering about 15% of the sky. Technically no visible stars are in the Milky Way, as it is just a soft glow from billions of stars too distant to see individually

A total of between 200 and 400 billion is the usual figure given. We cannot be more specific at the moment because from our viewpoint, clouds of dust and gas obscure much of it.
